Brilio.net - Not a few people who like snacking also want to try various types of snacks and cakes that are all over social media. One example of the most famous dish is donuts. This food is widely sold in well-known bakeries and MSME businesses.
As time goes by, donuts are being transformed into various variations. If in the past donuts were only created with cream toppings or sprinkles, nowadays this snack has been transformed into bomboloni, croissant donuts, mini donuts, donuts with savory toppings or fillings, and many more.
Donut fans usually buy them directly in large portions so that all relatives or family members at home get a share. Then, if you don't finish eating it, store the donuts in the refrigerator first to keep them fresh. In fact, some people choose to store it in the freezer, so it can last a long time.
In fact, the refrigerator freezer can make donuts super hard like rocks, you know. If they are already frozen, the process of thawing the donuts will take quite a long time if you don't heat them in the microwave. Not to mention, the donut's texture is also at risk of changing, no longer as soft and delicious as when you just bought it.

However, the owner of the Instagram account @at.arahouse has a trick for softening hard donuts without a microwave. According to him, this trick is really effective in making donuts soft again using just one kitchen ingredient.
"I usually (soften it with) an air fryer again, but when I don't have an air fryer, you can try this tip, it automatically softens," he wrote in the Instagram video caption @at.arahouse, quoted by BrilioFood on Saturday (13/7).

So, to practice this trick, first prepare a pan on the stove, then put the donuts you want to soften into it. Also add 2 pieces of ice cubes. Yup, ice cubes are the main kitchen ingredient to practice this trick to soften donuts.

After adding ice cubes, continue to cover the pan and turn on the stove heat to medium to low. Leave it for a few moments until the ice cubes melt and there is no water left. So, the melted water from the ice cubes which turns into hot steam in the pan will work to slowly soften the hard donuts.

If the melted ice cubes have disappeared, the donuts are ready to be served. The owner of the Instagram account @at.arahouse shows the condition of his donuts which are already soft. Sure enough, when it was cut open, the donut looked as soft as new again.
